Today, while I was taking a long relaxing shower, the shower head decided to fly off and hit me in the face. The dentist couldn't stop laughing. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I went to the dentist for a routine cleaning. As the dentist was working on my teeth, he accidentally sprayed water all over my face. I couldn't stop laughing nervously, which made the dentist think I was choking. He ended up calling for backup and I had to explain that I was just laughing. FML
Today, after having a pretty rough day, I decided a nice, hot shower would be great. Ten minutes in, the shower head apparently couldn't take the water pressure anymore, and it flew off and hit me in the face. FML
Today, while trying to relax because I'm sick and I feel like crap, the shower head attachment fell and hit me on the head. FML
Today, I was taking a warm shower when someone in my house flushed the toilet, making the shower extremely hot. In my rush to get out so I wouldn't get burned, I slipped and knocked a tooth out. FML
Today, on my way to the dentist, I got rear ended by my own dentist. FML
Today, my dad went to a hardware store to replace the broken shower head in my bathroom. He got the cheapest shower head he could find, and so when I took a shower, the shower head burst out and hit me square in the face. FML
Today, while I was showering, my brother thought it would be funny to burst through the door pretending he was a burglar. Panicked, I went to grab the soap bar as a weapon, slipped, fell, and hit my head on the faucet. FML
Today, after a trip to the emergency room for severe stomach pain and almost passing out in the shower, I slipped on the wet bathroom floor and broke my two front teeth. FML
Today, I had to have emergency work done on my teeth after I seized in the shower and smashed my face into the tub. Apparently, the dental insurance I'd been paying for but had never used ended its coverage 4 days ago, because my job was no longer working with them. FML
Today, I was taking a shower for the first time in my new apartment. The shower head broke off the wall and slammed onto my head, while spraying water everywhere. I tried to stop the water, but only stopped the cold and got burnt by the hot. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This is why we don't shower with our dentists.

I don't understand for the life of me understand how OP deserves this for taking a shower and getting hit in the mouth by a shower head!! OP that sucks and must have hurt like hell. Hopefully your Dentist was able to take care of you!!

That's weird. The same thing happened to me the other day. Apparently the piece that holds the shower head from becoming detachable, had gotten rusty and old and had already fallen off, and was glued back on. The glue must've stopped working from getting wet. Guess the guy that lived in the house before me tried fixing it. Well now I have an egg on my head because it fell off and whacked me in the head while I was washing my hair. Surprised I wasn't knocked out lol so I feel your pain, even though your story sounds far more worse. Hope they were able to fix everything!

That's scary I never realized this could even happen. No more showers for a long long time...or until I check the conditon of the shower head I guess.
mrd1997 19
Yeah, it scared the crap out of me when it happened lol not everyday you expect to be bashed off the head, with a shower head. Now every time I shower, I'm going to be paranoid about it falling off again lmao

How the **** did I deserve this? :/

You don't, recently it seems like a lot of FMLs are getting a ton of YDI votes when they clearly don't deserve it.

Yeah seriously OP, I was wondering that too. You definitely didn't deserve this, it's not your fault that the shower head malfunctioned. Honestly this is the 3rd or 4th post I've seen in a couple days where someone got a bunch of ydi and they clearly didn't deserve it. There might be something wrong with the site.

I was confused over it as well. Both this and the tiger spraying the child has more YDI votes, which is extremely confusing to me. Well, I hope you are feeling better though!

You didn't. No one knows why there are so many YDI votes...

Some people just like to see the world burn, so they say people deserve it when they really didn't.

Why so many YDI? She didn't ask for the shower head to fall on her.

Damn. The water pressure must be really high where you live.

Everyone and everything is high where I live.

Well one time I stood up from sitting down and scraped my ankle against a dog brush (the metal ones). I ended up needing to go to urgent care for stitches. You can imagine the doctors face when I said I cut my ankle on a dog brush.

Neither could we

Glad everyone found my pain amusing!
